Hi Matey,

Sounds like you've over written the original voicepack rather than appending to it. I don't have FS9 anymore, but pretty sure the original will be in one of the cabs on the CD's.

From the EVP website help page:

Troubleshooting
Which files does EditVoicepack modify?

EditVoicepack only modifies two files in the Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight directory. One is airlines.cfg (see “Making callsigns selectable in Flight Simulator” for details).

The other (and more important) file modified is named usenglishbig.gvp and contains all spoken language used by the ATC, as well as the text displayed in the ATC window. This file can be found in the Sound directory of Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight In case you selected the compact installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight, the file might be called usenglishsmall.gvp. Localized (translated) versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight will have different file names. EditVoicepack is designed to recognize the files in any language; however it has mainly been tested on the English version.

If you do not use the accelerated voicepack usenglishsmall.gvp will be modified directly. If you use the accelerated voicepack the file will be renamed to USEnglishBig.gvp.evpOrg and a new file named Evp_Accelerated.gvp will be created.

In case you experience any problems with the ATC sound in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight please try to restore the original voicepack file from your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight CD number 2. The file is inside the file "MSGame5.cab" for the 10 voice (full) setup, and inside the "MSGame4.cab" file for the three voice (compact) setup. Copy one of these files (do not copy both) to the Sound directory under the Flight Simulator directory. In case the Sound directory contains files named *.evpOrg or Evp_Accelerated.gvp they should be deleted.
Will EditVoicepack work with additional or changed voicepacks?

No, EditVoicepack will only work with the unmodified default voicepacks supplied with Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight. If you have manually changed the voicepack using the Microsoft SDK (or any other mean than EditVoicepack) can give one of the following problems:

* EditVoicepack might refuse to load
* EditVoicepack might not be able to complete Update Voicepack
* Update Voicepack might complete, but some of the modifications no longer produce the intended result.

If this happens, please follow the instructions in the section “EditVoicepack won’t start (Microsoft Voicepack damaged)”.
I can no longer select a reply to ATC instructions

This problem will typically occur if you have applied or removed voicepak acceleration. Please chose Settings/ATC in Flight Simulator and ensure you have a pilot voice assigned.

The first thing to do is to check if the USEnglishBig.gvp file is in your sound folder.

If you use EditVoice Pak did you make a backup? If not the original ATC from the install disks is located here:

FS9\Disc2\ MSGAME5.cab\ USEnglishBig.gvp 204,624,020

Extract the file form the CAB and move it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Sound (change drive if needed.)

NOTE: If you have made a lot of edits with EditVoice Pak, you will loose them all by doing this

Dave beat me to it!

You will probably find that the only thing wrong is that you have not got a Voice selected in ATC...Options > ATC and select a voice from the Drop-down List.

Your new scenery kindly unselected it for you! :brick:
